Delta award pricing is amusing with sufficient Delta status. Award tickets are almost refundable. ( There’s a minimum time before departure to get everything back but close enough.) So you buy on speculation of a trip. Price falls? Swap. Price rises? How clever was I to buy at the bottom! Yup, this requires a stock of miles but they are easy to get if you specialize in Delta.

Although I highly respect Ric Garrido and his excellent work, George, take another look at his article and you will find that there are actually a few MORE category 1 hotel properties overall as a result of the Club Carlson category changes for 2018.

The changes are a devaluation to him because they affect the hotel properties which he patronizes or planned to patronize — and there is nothing wrong with his opinion.

This example just shows that at times, one man’s perception of devaluation is another man’s perception of opportunity…

As I am getting tax returns coming in to do….the market FINALLY behaves normally and looks like I may be making very selective purchases in the near future…which is great!

And this from the phsychologist dude who won a Nobel prize:

“If owning stocks is a long-term project for you, following their changes constantly is a very, very bad idea. It’s the worst possible thing you can do, because people are so sensitive to short-term losses. If you count your money every day, you’ll be miserable.” Daniel Kahneman

This time is different. Bubbles are mathematically impossible in this new paradigm.
